Our group has an extensive record of undergraduate
involvement in our research efforts. During his tenure at USF, Dr. Schlaf
has advised more than 20 undergraduates in his lab. Several of these
undergraduates have moved on to become graduate students in his group.
Dr. Schlaf initiated the USF
College of Engineering Research for Undergraduates program in 2001
and currently serves as the Director of Undergraduate Research at the
College of Engineering at USF. Dr. Schlaf is also currently serving as
the REU Coordinator for the Electrical Engineering Department.

A significant part of the undergraduate involvement in Dr. Schlaf's
group is funded through NSF REU Supplements, awarded in conjunction with
Dr. Schlaf's NSF grants. Undergraduates typically start out working on
simple projects under supervision by senior lab members. Over time the
projects become more complex as the students' expertise grows, until
the students carry out their own projects. Several undergraduates from
our group have already published papers in peer-reviewed international
scientific journals.

Undergraduates interested in participating should
get in touch with Dr. Schlaf to arrrange an interview. Please, send
a short email
to Dr. Schlaf stating your research interests, and attach
a current resume as word or PDF file.
